SPRING PLANTING AT CHUCALISSA

Marianne Parrs does a wonderful job as chairman of the Chucalissa committee. She recently gathered some of her committee members and made a visit to the museum to do some cleanup of winter debris and get some planting done.


Marianne plants the seeds of "the three sisters".... corn, beans and squash .... in much the same way as the native Americans did long ago.


Marianne's neighbor, Mary, came along to help out.

Digging and pulling weeds is so much fun!

Nan and Mary work on one of the extra large planters on the museum grounds.

Mary, Nan, Marianne and Carol enjoyed their gardening task on an absolutely perfect weather day.

MAY MEETING BEGINS NEW OFFICERS' TERM

The May meeting was held at the home of Rena Baker. Out-going president Lila presided for her final time with a brief business meeting that was then followed by the installation of our new officers for 2011-2013. Everyone enjoyed the delicious luncheon that came afterward.


Julie Wilson, District I Director, attended our meeting and installed the new officers.

A great lineup for the next 2 years!

New president, Ganelle Ballard, is installed by Julie.

A fun poem was read to Lila by her board members that have served with her for the past 2 years.

Linda presented Lila with a framed copy of the poem.
